Iterating over non-incremental Enum

Question

Before you ask, I\'ve looked and looked for this on SO, and cannot find a solid answer.

I need to be able to dynamically iterate over an enum that has non-incre

Here's one more approach. One bonus is that your compiler may warn you if you omit an enum value in a switch:

template
void IMP_Apply(const int& pSubtype, T& pApply) {
    switch (pSubtype) {
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_NULL :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_DFD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_ERD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_STD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_STC :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_DSD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_SPEC_PROCESS :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_SPEC_MODULE :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_SPEC_TERMINATOR :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_ALL :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_COUPLE :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_DATA_AREA :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_DATA_OBJECT :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_FLOW :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_RELATIONSHIP :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DD_STORE :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_PAD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_BD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_UCD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_PD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_COD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_SQD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_CD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_SCD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_ACD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_CPD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_DPD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_PFD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_HIER :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_IDEF0 :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_AID :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_SAD :
        case CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_ASG :
            /* do something. just `applying`: */
            pApply(static_cast(pSubtype));
            return;
    }

    std::cout << "Skipped: " << pSubtype << '\n';
}

template
void Apply(T& pApply) {
    const CAPI_SUBTYPE_E First(CAPI_SUBTYPE_NULL);
    const CAPI_SUBTYPE_E Last(CAPI_SUBTYPE_DIAG_ASG);

    for (int idx(static_cast(First)); idx <= static_cast(Last); ++idx) {
        IMP_Apply(idx, pApply);
    }
}

int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
    class t_apply {
    public:
        void operator()(const CAPI_SUBTYPE_E& pSubtype) const {
            std::cout << "Apply: " << static_cast(pSubtype) << '\n';
        }
    };
    t_apply apply;
    Apply(apply);
    return 0;
}
